GUS McCORD
Ashen McCord, who was born in 1831 and
died 1870, took for his bride, Mary Lucinda
Spencer. She was born 1841 and died between
! 870-1880 — ihe exact date is unknown.
They had six children: Edward Marcellus
born 1860 in Ashland, Oregon; Frank W. 1862-
1870; Augustus Albert born Nov. 10, 1864 in
Ashland; Lyman Emery 1865; Henry Elmer
1869; Renee (dates not known).
Although the McCord's never left the state
they all finally moved to Prineville.
On December I, 1885 the home of William
Gulliford on McKay Creek, was the scene of a
double wedding. Miss Francis Gulliford became
the bride of James Hedgepethand Miss Aminda
("Minnie") E. Gulliford became the bride of
Augustus ("Gus") McCord with Reverand Ira
Wakefield officiating.
Gus and Minnie lived and farmed in several
areas of Crook County.
They once resided on Dry Creek where Gus
built an addition to his home, to be used for a
dance hall. The dances were well attended with
wSeHv\ a brother of Gus, calling square dances.
As time went on some undesireables started
coming and causing problems so the project was
dropped.
The year 1913 Gus purchased what was
known as the LaFollette ranch on McKay. This
property was the estate of Sophia LaFollette
whose husband J.B. had been killed in a fall from
a load of hay, prior to her death.
Gus and Minnie had three children: Edith E.,
born 1886-1934 married Claude Barney, Roy H.
born 1888-1949 married Myrtle Windom, Edna
E. 1913 — married Warren Osborne.
The couple, in their later years, raised a small
flock of turkeys for market. During the time
Minnie cared for the flock an amusing incident
occurred which she never forgot. One evening
after feeding the birds she was attempting to
drive them into a shelter earlier than was their
custom. She vigorously flipped her apron to
husslc the reluctant birds along, forgetting she
had 40c in coins in her pocket. When she finally
succeeded in getting the birds to shelter she
discovered her coins were gone. She searched the
area but failed to find the money.
The approach of Christmas season meant
dressing the birds for market. Midway through
thejoba bird came through the picking line with
a torn wing. Minnie took stock of the situation
and decided to keep the bird and use it for their
dinner the following day. That evening, while
dressing the turkey she found her forty cents in
